Never gamble in front of your kids.

That makes sense friends, indeed if they don't want their children to be addicted to gambling of course they have to be able to prevent it and maybe they can tell them about the bad effects of gambling which can destroy their lives, but I think of course they should also be told when they are old enough to be able to do it. determine which things are good and bad, because when they are adults of course they will have the relationships they choose and the relationships they choose determine for themselves whether they will carry out negative or positive activities, because even though their parents forbid it, their social environment can change them.

but there is no harm when children are old enough to be advised about gambling, because they will think and decide to stay away from gambling or even approach it because of the social surroundings. Parental education plays a big role in their growth, but external education, such as from the environment, can make them familiar with gambling, with their parents not knowing that their children are already familiar with gambling. but if parents have educated them well, such as explaining gambling and its fatal negative effects, maybe that can be a benchmark for them not to gamble.

Of course, with a good education, the chance that children will grow up and become addicted to gambling decreases, because they will understand all the subtle processes on which gambling is built. I don’t want to say that this will always be the case because I personally saw how an educated player turned into a gambling streamer and ended up losing everything for real. Although it would seem that he could easily make money only from streams and casino sponsors, as well as donations from viewers. But he couldn’t keep calm and he wanted more, he fell for the bait.

I would also like to mention that there are those who do not have their own children and they do not understand that when they play, the children of neighbors and relatives can copy our habits and do the same, even as a joke, but in the future this can develop into a serious addiction even in adulthood age from these memories. This results in an indirect effect.

Indeed, currently there are a lot of people who are gambling streamers and I see that all the streamers who gamble are indeed using large betting amounts and not playing so it can make the sensation more tense, especially if the game is good, of course it can attract other people who see it, but I thought they were cooperating with the casino, but the risk of addiction and destruction from the negative effects of addiction still exists even though they are cooperating with the casino. whether the parents know what activities their children or family members are doing, but I think even though they have a lot of popularity, if they knew about the gambling they were doing, I think their parents would tell them to stop, because of course gambling can make them experience a lot. adverse effects.

Considering that gambling has a strong appeal, especially with the many advertisements spread about promising wins or the lure of wins that are easy to get, it can indeed attract many people, and especially when one of the family members gambles and can produce a win, even if the win is small. and if relatives or friends know about this, they may become interested and imitate what they do by gambling because they want to get the same result, namely winning. Of course, this has the potential to make them addicted to gambling, which could make them trapped in a gambling addiction and find it difficult to get out of it, therefore, even though their parents have taught them, it is entirely up to them to choose what they will do.

I think that gambling with a child is not a good idea. As you know, the result of gambling is highly dependent on chance. What will you do if your child is constantly lucky in gambling with you? Wouldn't he want to test his gambling skills with his peers? Personally, I think that gambling with children can develop an interest in risk and excitement, which in my opinion is not very good. On the other hand, I have been gambling since high school and I don't blame my parents for not being able to protect me from gambling. It's actually quite controversial.

I can say that we never know what the future of a child will be. Parents can never predict (maybe only in rare cases) how a child will grow up. They can only help in guidance and smooth out sharp corners. Such thing "success in something will grow wish to test in future" can be applied everywhere. Success in racing video games does not mean that child will want to test his skills on a real road. As a parent, I see that for modern kids it is hard to focus for a long time on something with variety of things and options today. If in our childhood most of us were somehow limited, then modern parents wants to give and child ask for more and more every day. If a child see parents gambling, he might have some interest in it, but in a month, he will forget about his interest and will want to do/test/try/learn/have something else.

If you let the upbringing of a child be free-floating, then the child’s future can't be predicted, especially with destructive types of activity. By directing his interest in a positive direction, you can always tell who he will become.
 

If a child see parents gambling, he might have some interest in it, but in a month, he will forget about his interest and will want to do/test/try/learn/have something else.

And if a child sees his parents playing games of chance every evening, this will re-capture the child’s attention, remind him and re-interest him. Ultimately, forming a habit. Even if you tell him after this that gambling is bad and addictive, then what is said will not have any effect on him and with a greater degree of probability this child will be prone to gambling, because children repeat the habits of their parents.

Showing that we do gambling in front of children is a mistake, whether it's adults or small children because they will imitate us and they don't know the right reason why we gamble, maybe we can say we are looking for fun in gambling but who is our adult child that we are trying our luck to get money in an easy way from gambling so that he will imitate what we do and think stupidly that could have spent his hard earned money, especially in front of a child who has no responsibility and with a mindset that is still developing and is very vulnerable to something that has a big risk, gambling will swallow the child, there are many incidents of young children in my country who do gambling because they follow their parents and end up with misery, and their adulthood is very bad.

As much as possible, we should not show our gambling activities to children. Children always have a high curiosity. and if forced and indeed children eventually find out about our gambling. So we have to take a stand and tell them well so that children don't have high curiosity about gambling.
however, they will naturally be aware of gambling. but we have to explain to children how they need to be more responsible and better prepared if they want to gamble. Kids today don't accept conflict. what they want is understanding and being understood. use a better and more appropriate approach. I think everything will go well.

Yes, children today have different characters so if we are wrong in educating them then it will be bad things in the future, we know that children today do not like conflict and violence unlike our era, maybe when they make a mistake then get one slap it doesn't matter what but it's different if children now.

So it would be nice not to show gambling activities in front of children because it will trigger them to reason that their parents also do gambling so they will easily turn their words to us if we give them an understanding that gambling is not allowed, we need to provide stimulation about the negatives of gambling to children so that they understand the level of risk that is caused when interacting with gambling.

It is never always adviceable for any parent to teach his kid how to gamble,and even if they do not call them down to teach, gambling infront of them is another way of telling them that gambling is what you do,and at the child level,they see what ever you as the partent do as the best thing,and they would want to emulate thesame from you.Therefore,while gambling,one should be very cautious of the way he Gambles, expecially when his or her kid is sitted there.They are very sharp and copy things so quick,so being careful is the only way one can keep it cool and clandestine from them.

Never gamble in front of your kids

This is a simple fact which I agree with, and the reason you are discouraged from gambling infront of kids is because kids learn from what they see, hear etc from people they trust , and if they see you on your phone or computer gambling... sooner or later they will jump on a phone when they get to have access to money and will gamble especially that our casino's/bookies don't ask for KYC from the time of registration..
And tbh any responsible parent should try mould kids to understand that you have to work hard to enjoy  a good life and nothing comes on a silver plate !!!

If one is going to gamble,this should be strictly for fun purposes and not going all in for the money such that when you lose you money you want to hurt yourself as punishment all thanks to greed.
 

I agree with you. Children don't understand anything about good and bad. They just want to have fun. Therefore, do not gamble in front of your children. You may be able to manage your gambling funds and your desire to gamble. It's normal because we are adults. But children are different. If they have gotten dopamine from gambling he or she will not be able to stop and is very likely to become addicted. It is very, very dangerous if children are addicted to gambling. His life will be ruined. I can't imagine it. Let children enjoy what is in their world.

Every time I see this thread, I remember how time has evolved a lot, nowadays I have seen many children under 5 years old with phones that have access to the internet and that also have games, not games of chance , but they are normal games. Still, I think that in a way it's an exaggeration that children are playing so early, for example some games I've seen children playing



my country's children are playing Subway Surfers, I'm wondering the following: if a parent allows a child under 5 years old to use their cell phone, table and play Subway Surfers, then as the years go by This child can easily master technology, can easily access the internet and see the games that exist and it won't take long for this child to find gambling games. So, in my opinion, it is necessary for parents, when giving technology to children, to keep an eye on the children, teach them about the dangers of certain games, block access to bank cards so that children do not use their parents' cards in casinos, put alerts on bank accounts so that they are notified by the bank if any amount of money is withdrawn.

Actually this game is old but when it comes to offline games then this is something significant on which those young or even to those toddlers would already be that open when it comes to these type of games and i can attest to this when my brother is still young on which he's really that playing this game on which my mothers phone have this kind of game or other games on which this would really be that opening that kind of idea
about playing games. This might be that indirectly playing and not really that playing gambling but of course this would really be that opening that kind of idea on which it would be molded up later on
but of course not every those youngsters would really be ended up on being a gambler. This is why it would really be best that as a parent that you should really know on how you would be making yourself having such prohibition with your kids about doing playing gambling.

Never gambling in front of your kids on which we do know that it is really that something that they would really be that easily be able to adapt on whatever the things that they would really be able to see specially into their parents on which they could be with all the time. So as a parent then it would really be just that normal for you to guide your kids on the best way as possible on their lives.
Anything that could affect their growth or well being then it would be your responsibility of course.

After this, children may face punishment and education in the form of a ban on playing outside for 2 weeks with friends after school, or something even worse.

Of course, the rumor about winning spreads with great speed among all relatives and acquaintances. My mother still tells me about her friend who managed to win something. I tried to explain to her that she was the only one who won out of a thousand losers, but my mother didn’t even want to listen to that. In short, these rumors can also be dangerous for children it is better to watch your speech even when we tell similar things to our friends about other people’s winnings.

It is never advisable or good to gamble in front of your kids because you are hurting them emotionally by seeing you as their father gambling, this is for those That they have already thought at school that gambling is a bad thing and they feel like their father is doing the wrong thing but they can speak about, it is just like smoking and your kids seeing you smoking, because they already know that smoking is a bad thing and it has already been placed on their minds set

Gambling in front of children means influencing gambling in front of children. And if you yourself influence your children to gamble, they will be attracted to gambling very quickly which will affect their future career. so if you become a father you don't want to have any bad impact on your child's future and want your child's future to be very good. so tag your gambling habit atleast avoid using it in front of kids. Gambling may provide us with a lot of entertainment, but it harms us both behaviorally and financially. so gambling should be use very short time shouldn’t use for long and always should keep gambling habhit secret

You are right @bangjoe, children are so smart that they can easily copy what someone is doing in their presence whether it is a good or bad thing they can just copy it are start practicing it in the absence of their parents. Sometimes, parents usually contribute to corrupt the attitude of their children and if those children are not properly given a good moral they can grow up with a lifestyle that can ruin their life. There's this story I read, a boy grow up in a home where his dad usually beat his mum and when he grow up and got married too, he started to beat his wife like the dad did to his mum. Am also on the opinion of not gambling around kids.

Yes, every child will see the behavior or habits of their parents, whether it is bad or good, even though it will still be embedded in their brain's memory, one day they will try to learn it, that's why as parents, never imitate or do something that is bad for their memory, even though in the end the child will get to know gambling out there but don't let them learn from their parents, even if they see other people playing gambling out there it won't be a problem for them it's not something they will learn either, because they only see other people gamble not his parents.

Unless they see their parents gambling, they will definitely try it in the future without their parents knowing, so it doesn't matter if they see gambling outside the house and if they ask us as parents, of course we have to explain it correctly so that mistakes don't happen, whatever we do. Also say it will have any effect. The point is don't make a child try gambling. Make sure that they think gambling is a disgusting game so they won't try to play it, let alone find out more about gambling out there or via the internet which can usually be found easily. there.

It's very likely that they will hide it from their parents or their family, but I think they will be honest with people who really like gambling, including their own family, if their family really likes gambling, there is a possibility that they can talk openly about gambling. What they do is tell each other about their gambling experiences, but if their parents are also gamblers, it would be very unethical for them to talk about gambling together. Of course, parents should be able to keep their children away from things that could destroy their children's future, including gambling.

That's true, because just by telling stories, other people will be interested in gambling, including our family members who might also be interested after listening to the stories. It is best if the gambling is carried out in secret, although there are gamblers who are so happy with their winnings that they talk about it very enthusiastically, but this is not to be imitated. As much as possible, we must be able to prevent children from doing things that could be detrimental, because of course we don't want anything bad to happen to ourselves and our children.

You know, a child at home is totally different from child outside the home. It can be a obedient little angel at home, and a cursing trouble generator outside. It is hard to tell what your kid is going to do and behave when you are not monitoring him. It might turn, that you hide that you gamble at home, but it might be that the kid already knows more about gambling than you and have tried more games. As a father and godfather, who have kids going to school and nursery school, I have seen kids addicted to gadgets and zero interest to gambling (by gambling I mean buying all that in-game stuff with random drop chance). I am sure that kids know about spinning wheel and getting in-game pixels, but never saw or heard someone asking for money to gamble.

Gambling in front of children is the same as setting a bad example for children, if your children at school have been given education about the dangers of gambling, smoking, drinking and drugs then it is the same as normalizing your activities by showing your gambling behavior to them, especially if you play a bad role as a father by gambling, smoking, drinking, then your children will judge you as a bad father because their father does not reflect a good attitude and their children will also learn what their father does because of their curiosity and want to try and do things. This will disturb their minds and will affect their lessons at school about the dangers of it all.

As fathers, we should set a good example by providing education from an early age so that they don't try things related to gambling. We sometimes don't know what games our children are playing when they gather with their friends and sometimes we check what's on their cellphones so they can avoid it gambling and we as parents should hide if we want to gamble and don't gamble too often because the more you gamble, the longer your child will find out.

I dont agree with that. At least you could be more detailed about. Your accusation sound like it is bad because it is bad. You said it yourself, a father must provide education to kids. Why cant he provide information about bad and good side of gambling, explain what it is. You say that school give education that dangers of gambling, but that does not mean they teach that it is bad. On the contrast, kids during history classes learn about wars, however, kids play with toy guns and dream to become military man and sign to army when they grow up. Seems illogical based on your logic.

[Zackz5000]

Children do learn very fast expecially when they are seeing it practically, so it never a good idea we should gamble in front of our kids because paraventure they learn doing this  things you might probably be in danger as there parents because you will the to take full responsibility of what will be the outcome probably they might start stealing in order to gamble they might be caught on the process and get arrested you as the parents will still be the one to bail them out, there are some things we shouldn't do in the presence of our kids not just gambling but smoking as well or beating your wife in the presence of your kids.

We have all been children, so to find out the mindset of a child, we have to look at ourselves. I know that it is very easy for small children to imitate adults, but often what they imitate is something that is not good, why can't we gamble in in front of small children, well because their mindset will be damaged and imitate that, they will try to gamble, especially when they see us enjoying the moment when playing gambling, this is really dangerous for their growth and development

Damn. People have learned new word - "damage" and now use it everywhere. How will mindset be damaged? By believing that gambling is something for fun? Well it is for fun actually. Dangerous for growth and development for them is stopping to get new information, as they with time it will be harder for person to learn new thing. If you gamble in front of kids, dont tell that you do it for the sake of money. Is that so hard to do? And they will learn that it is another way to get fun. That is so simple.
